How well Double Diamond holds snow

Snow preservationBelow average

Facing east at an average 18°, Double Diamond gets about 108% of the winter sun that flat ground at Okemo does, December through March. That's sunnier than 79% of the runs we've measured, and the 49th sunniest named run at Okemo. Its top sits at 3,230 feet.

Angled toward the low winter sun, it bakes: powder turns heavy soon after a storm, and in spring it softens early in the day and refreezes hard overnight. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
